Subject: [K-list] Ego or is it ego
From: Yahseyes

On 2000/05/12 14:17, Yahseyes posted thus to the K-list:

To me, ego is mind and the abstraction of giving an identify to the self so
the self feels grounded in a physical and perceiving reality and through this
existence avoids its worst fear, dis-solving, moving to "no being",
physically manifested to body as death.

Theosophy uses ego two ways, little e, is the passions and desires and below
of the physical self with self awareness, big E, Ego, is the higher spiritual
aspects of the same self. They meet in this sort of overlapping territory of
big e to little E in the area they call Manas.

to me, ego death is a clear view of what I really am and what I really am is
not "I" but all of you and everything I see and don't see. It gives me an
attachment as a family member to all existence and potential existence in
thought forms. My view of me as separate is gone, hence ego death. But
going through the ego death is a hell of an experience because if you
identify with the ego, you are actively going into a willful decimation of
its and your own existence and it fights like hell because all it knows is
that it "has to be" and you are taking that away. Self preservation is a
bitch to get over. Like a mother jumping knowingly into a fire that will
kill her to save her children, its not easy.

But once there, identity with all is I guess a new definition for ego but the
individual one is gone. Its quite beautiful.

Thats my definition, hope it helps in your search. Your definition is yours
(he he, your ego's)

Love Lou
